Do you consider Damien Hardwick a great coach

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I'm old enough to have lived through the Hafey years. I don't think that will ever be repeated. But there is always hope. 

Born 1965? You are a relative youngster!

The Hafey years were unbelievable. It just seemed like we were there only to collect flags. Brilliant.

Born 1955. 1965 is a whole different story.

Which you’ve already told us

Sorry. Missed it.

Well then. I better not tell it again.

Dimma = good coach

Not great yet, but potential is there.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I think a great coach is both a great manager of men and en excellent strategist. If he knows he is not the latter he can still b great by surrounding himself with great strategists. Dimma definitely falls in the last group. I think he is fantastic at managing the age groups from boys to mature men. He surrounded himself with great minds like Caracella and Leppitch. Win another flag and he elevates himself to the elite category IMHO.

I am 45 years old and this is the best version of Richmond I have ever known.

Good but not great. I think there are too many games I've seen where he was truly beaten in the box by his counterpart which has always made me question how good he is strategically.

I think he's a good coach for the players and I suspect Caracella is the one with the brain for the game.

If he gets us another flag or two then sure he'll go down forever as a great...

PM him, it’s actually when of the better ID’s on this forum.

Clarkson has better record
, I increased my opinion of him this year, a good to very good coach wins when it's not expected.
He opens his home up to the kids, you can't say his heart is not in it.
I also believe it's harder to win flags in this age as there are more teams and the AFLs desire to even teams up through the drafts and the cap

Didn't know where to put this but bumping up this thread seems appropriate.

Dimma's 3/4 time moves last Thursday night showed again how much he's become a great coach. His matchday coaching has significantly improved since his early years when he was much criticised.

[Rampsation]

Yes

[lamington]

It was 2020 grand final where moves to Balta and sheds were pretty instrumental as well from memory? On the other hand Dangerfield was left spectating in a goal square which didn’t see much of the ball

[pmac21]

Yes but another flag would cement it.

I'd be impressed apart from the fact half of our online supporters were calling for these moves at halftime.

Funny I called for Gibcus forward and Balta back at quarter time and I think my dad said something about Baker going forward around then too.

Maybe Dimma checks his OER account at half time

Im still not sure if he is in front of hinkley yet
